I have a 1986 Compac 16/2 with bowsprit. What is the correct size CDI furler for this boat? I have read on several sailing websites that they recommend the CDI FF2, but have read on this site that some people recommend the FF1. I have a 135 genoa, so I want to make sure I purchase the right size for my boat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome to the foium. I believe the FF1 model is the right one for the 16. What I would do in your shoes is to call the factory and ask to be sure (I didn't look into CDI when I had a 16). I thought the FF2 model was for larger pin diameters, like on the 19's and 23's. You could also take a look at the specs of the furler and measure you're rigging carefully to make double sure.
